Space mirrors
The idea is to send mirrors up into Earth's orbit that would reflect some of the sun's light away from the earth, lowering the ammount of UV radiation that hits us, while using that same light to generate energy. The technology is still in development, but if they find a way to transmit the energy back down to the planet, it could help solve the ecological crisis and provide clean energy.
